So much of literary sci-fi is about creating worlds that are rich and detailed and make sense at a social level. We'll create a world for people and then later present a narrative in that world.More James Cameron quotes [09/25/2011 03:09:28]

Everything after that you're just negotiating your budget and your fee.More James Cameron quotes [03/29/2018 05:03:36]

I set my goals way higher than the achievable. And when I fail, I fail at a very high level. That's my process. It's really demented, but it actually works.

More motivated than before.More James Cameron quotes [03/29/2018 05:03:36]
